I'm looking for some journals where's posible to publish articles concerning Earthquake Engineering (topics concerning earthquake resistant buildings mainly), written in English.
I know about:
Earthquake Spectra
Earthquake Engineering & Structural Dynamics
ACI Structural Journal
Engineering Structures
Earthquake Engineering and Engineering Vibration
I believe there are some more journals but I can't find them, so please share your experience concerning this topic.
Hi everybody,
I am an offshore structural Engineer from India. I need the information of licensed/professional member of offshore structural engineer. Does these professional memberships have any impact in the salary packages/positions. and which countries recognise these professional/licensed engineers and which is the best membership i should go if so?

Monitoring and Predicting Agricultural Drought: A Global Study
Author: Vijendra K. Boken et. al. | Size: 4.90 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA | Year: 2005 | pages: 496 | ISBN: 019516234X
Book Description:
Agricultural droughts affect whole societies, leading to higher food costs, threatened economies, and even famine. In order to mitigate such effects, researchers must first be able to monitor them, and then predict them; however no book currently focuses on accurate monitoring or prediction of these devastating kinds of droughts. To fill this void, the editors of Monitoring and Predicting Agricultural Drought have assembled a team of expert contributors from all continents to make a global study, describing biometeorological models and monitoring methods for agricultural droughts. These models and methods note the relationships between precipitation, soil moisture, and crop yields, using data gathered from conventional and remote sensing techniques. The coverage of the book includes probabilistic models and techniques used in America, Europe and the former USSR, Africa, Asia, and Australia, and it concludes with coverage of climate change and resultant shifts in agricultural productivity, drought early warning systems, and famine mitigation. This will be an essential collection for those who must advise governments or international organizations on the current scope, likelihood, and impact of agricultural droughts.

A plain language guide to the tools and techniques needed to ensure efficiency, Working Guide to Pump and Pumping Stations provides practicing engineer and senior field personnel with a quick but rigorous exposition of pumps, including applications. In this book, readers find expert advice for determining TDH, NPSH, BHP and driver power requirements, discharge temperature, parallel/series operation and their impact on the operating conditions; developing system-head curves and performance considerations; pump selection for multi-product operations. The book also emphasizes the understanding of the internal workings of pumping systems and their components.

This second edition has been revised by the authors to include updated codes and standards information, solutions to technical problems, additional references, and clarifications to the text. Corrections were also made to some formulae, text, tables and drawings. This book offers straightforward, practical techniques for pipeline design and construction, making it an ideal professional reference, training tool, or comprehensive text. The authors present the various elements that make up a single-phase liquid and gas pipeline system, including how to design, construct, commission, and assess pipelines and related facilities. They discuss gas and liquid transmission, compression, pumps, protection and integrity, procurement services, and the management of pipeline projects. More complex specialty fluids are also covered, including CO2, H2, slurry and multi-products.
